Marked for Life: A Prison Chaplain's Story |
|
|
A beautifully told narrative of a church pastor who became a state chaplain in high-security prisons for men.
Having chronicled many stories of incarceration during her thirteen-year stint, she describes here how she bore witness to misery and miracles within an intractable system. |
|
| "Even in my bleakest of days, I knew God has a particular fondness for showing up among lives in the ruins, for using us flawed and failed human beings for redemptive purposes. So I became a witness. I bore witness to the tragedy of lives stuck in the misery of a punitive system. I also bore witness to the spirit of hope that emerged from impossible circumstances." -- author Rev Nancy Hastings Sehested | |
